Bone Conduction Technology
What makes these running headphones stand apart from the other options out there is their open-ear design. Instead of sitting in your ears and blocking out natural noises from your surroundings, they sit in front of them at your temple. The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 deliver sound vibrations through your cheekbones as opposed to your ear canals. Any elder millennial might remember those fun lollipop toys from the 90s that could play music through your teeth. This is the same basic principal at play but with way better sound quality.
A major advantage to listening via bone conduction while on a run is that it keeps your ears open to take in external sounds happening in your environment. If you’re running through your neighborhood roads, it’s crucial that you can hear on coming vehicles approaching from behind you. In-ear earbuds, whether they have noise-cancellation or not, still reduce the amount of outsider noises you can hear simply by blocking your ear canal. The open-ear design doesn’t sacrifice your situation awareness, keeping you safe while still providing a high-quality listening experience.
